Well, the ladies didn't made it to Stockholm as representative from Norway, but they have been invited to perform in Stockholm in the main Eurovision week.

"Each person have their own understanding of the message in Laika. For some it is a weird dark disco apocalypse, for others it is an epic song. When I wrote it I did not think so much about a message. I just thought about Laika and her brutal destiny - and I thought about being alone in the atmosphere. I don't accept death as a concept and I am terrified of dying or being left alone somewhere where there are no other human beings..." said Tonje in our interview earlier this year about "Laika".

The Hungry Hearts have been very busy in the last weeks performing on some pride events in Oslo, Tel-Aviv and last week on Cologne Pride in Germany. We met Tonje, Edith, Olga and Henriette for a very lovely interview and a short sightseeing tour through Cologne. They spoke about MGP, their experiences in Stockholm and their plans for Eurovision 2017. The interview will be online in the next days, so stay tuned..

In the meantine you can watch here some of the videos from their performance from the opening evening on main stage on Heumarkt in the heart of Cologne...

As tribute to the victims of the Orlando attack The Hungry Hearts performed their special "Laika" version with "Streets of Orlando, with my boyfriend":

The song "In Your Face" they performed together with the German lesbian icon Hella von Sinnen.

One year ago represented Monika Linkyte together with Vaidas Baumila and the song "This Time"Lithuania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna. The lovely couple ended on 18th place in the Grand Final with 30 points.

The team of ESC Radio will try to give the awards to the winners in the next weeks.

For this years Eurovision Song Contest winner Jamala from Ukraine it's not the best result. Her song "1944" made it only on #6 and as Female Artist she is only on #5. If you see the fan result after Eurovision - was she really the deserved winner of Eurovision 2016?!

Mihaiis well known for the Eurovision fans as Mr Tornero. He represented Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with "Tornero" (#4), which was one of the best results in the Romanian Eurovision history.

Earlier this year he participated in the Romanian national selection of "Selecţia Naţională" with the song "Paradisio". At the same time he already recorded his next single and the video for "Zombie Love". Now the long wait is over and two days ago he premiered the official "Zombie Love" video on youtube.

"Zombie Love"

***Lyrics***

Verse I :

I have been lookin' in

I really need to read your mind

I feel like a ZOMBIE

I'm screamin' out inside.

If your not made for me

Then I don't wanna wake up

If I'm not made for you

Then I'll wait for you in another life.

Just tell me why the hell don't you leave me ... no, no ...

I'm not a toy, so girl don't fight me

You stupid girl

Let me go !

Refrain:

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Do do do do do it on the clock

Feel my ZOMBIE LOVE.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Do do do do do it on the block

Reach my tasty love ...

Zombie love ...

Verse II:

Let me get my ticket, baby

Let me get into your life

Before I feed your appetite

I can tell the way that you like.

If I close my eyes

Will you be there in my mind

Cause I miss your ...

Yes I miss your love ... Hm ... I really miss your love.

Refrain:

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Do do do do do it on the clock

Feel my ZOMBIE LOVE.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Do do do do do it on the block

Reach my tasty love ...

Zombie love ...

Bridge:

Babe, our love is compromised

You're right

Tonight

I'll die

If I'm not made for you

Then tell me baby what to do ?!

Refrain:

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Do do do do do it on the clock

Feel my ZOMBIE LOVE.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Do do do do do it on the block

Reach my tasty love ...

Zombie love ...

Alexander Rybak - "I Came To Love You" (Official Video)

"I Came To Love You"

***Lyrics***

When you're away

I try to focus on things

I need to do

but my hands are shakin',

cause I'm just mad about you.

When by myself

I think of all that may

or may not be true.

And I'm scared of falling

falling hard without you.

But then I see your smile.

And suddenly I feel stronger,

I feel proud.

that's when I man up.

And girl, there's a thing I gotta say out loud.

You got my heart.

Baby, I know this time it's true

So I came to love you.

And that's what I'm gonna do.

And I just hope,

deep in your heart

you feel it too.

Cause I came to love you,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

When we're apart

I walk around all day with your name in my heart

And I can't stop dreamin'

the sweetest dreams about you.

I lay awake when you're not in my bed.

Because I can't get you out of my head

And I feel so foolish.

The biggest fool without you.

But then I see your smile

and all the sudden I'm happy, strong and proud.

That's when I man up.

Girl, do you mind if I say this out loud.

You got my heart.

Baby, I know this time it's true

So I came to love you.

And that's what I'm gonna do.

And I just hope,

deep in your heart

you feel it too.

Cause I came to love you,

and that's what I'm gonna do.
